By the way, compared to Anne Hathaway's hard work, Meryl, the other leading actress, filmed the movie almost effortlessly, as if acting for her was just eating and sleeping, which couldn't be easier. It's precisely because of her lack of effort.
The traceable acting skills made Yi Feiyang sigh that he made the right choice of actors, but at the same time he tasted the loneliness of being a director.
What is a director?
He is a general who trains actors.
On the set, you can yell at the actors and teach them how to act and how to think about the script... But in front of a monster-level actor like Meryl, Yi Feiyang has no chance to be cool. On the contrary, while filming a certain
During a scene, Meryl, a seasoned dramatist, would reprimand Yi Feiyang for writing too poorly or not choosing the right shooting angle... Meryl's strength made Yi Feiyang, who is known as a tyrant director, extremely uncomfortable.
Depressed and sore.
But from the bottom of his heart, Yi Feiyang had to admire Meryl's grasp and control of the character, and her coordination and adaptation to the scene. These are not what ordinary people can do. Even the director Yi Feiyang sometimes really needs to ask for help.
She asked for something.
Yi Feiyang's modesty can be regarded as winning Meryl's favor. Especially when it comes to directing, Yi Feiyang will take the initiative to discuss with her, which makes Meryl feel respected, and she gradually accepts this from the bottom of her heart.
The Chinese-American director began to feel that the 5 million remuneration for filming this movie was worth the money. At least he was valued and respected. This feeling cannot be bought with any amount of money.
As mentioned before, many big directors in Hollywood are very authoritative. Even if you are a big-name star, you will have to turn into a little lamb in front of an awesome director. This is especially true when you encounter directors with bad tempers.
The more you act like a big name, the more directors will put you under the knife... What are you going to do? Of course it's to scare the monkeys!
The director is the general, who has to lead the entire army. If he cannot convince the public, then there is no point in controlling the film industry. Therefore, many stars are afraid of directors with bad tempers. Meryl has encountered them before and suffered a lot of sullenness.
Yi Feiyang's "treating each other with courtesy" gave Meryl a good feeling, so the two had such a tacit understanding when working together on the set.
The interaction between Yi Feiyang and Meryl on the set left everyone stunned.
The reason is that Yi Feiyang is a well-known tyrant in the director world. He likes to lose his temper with actors at every turn. It is said that he has a fiery temperament that is scary.
As for Meryl, she is known as the Hollywood drama queen. She likes to get carried away when filming and gives instructions to the crew, which makes it difficult for many people to get along with her.
But these two weirdos from different types actually got together very harmoniously and seemed to be enjoying themselves.
God, we must be dazzled, this is what many people think.
If Meryl and Hathaway don't need much training in this drama and can play their roles almost as long as they get the script, then it is another actress Ivanka who gives Yi Feiyang a headache -
Trump.
Yi Feiyang overestimated the acting potential of this beautiful girl and overestimated her efforts in studying.
That's right. Ivanka is a good student, even their mentor, Queen Madonna, said so. As a wealthy daughter, she is not squeamish. She can endure hardships and endure hardships. The most important thing is to be able to ask for advice humbly... no matter how bad her acting is.
Oops.
Facing such an actress who was willing to work hard but failed repeatedly, Yi Feiyang couldn't laugh or cry, and almost shouted to the sky, God, you didn't send her to play with me, right?!
To put it bluntly, Ivanka is very serious about acting, but I don’t know why, but she always falls a little short when interpreting the role. It’s like when sewing clothes, one or two buttons always fall off and are forgotten to be sewn.
"Forget it, just reshoot it! It's just a waste of film!" Yi Feiyang comforted himself. After all, it was his first time acting. He pushed all the messy thoughts out of his mind and faced Ivan who was preparing to shoot.
Ka sent an encouraging look, then stared at the monitor and shouted loudly: "Action!!!".
Upon hearing the order, the clerk suddenly slapped the slate in his hand, and the words "The Devil Wears Prada" scene 11, shot 17 flashed across the camera.
This scene has been filmed ten times!
It was a not complicated scene. Ivanka played the role of "Emily", Miranda's female assistant. This role is positioned as having excellent work ability, extensive communication, being cautious in doing things, and being especially wary of those who join the job.
Newcomer.
In this scene, Emily saw Andy (played by Hathaway) who came to apply for a job for the first time in the company, and then the two passed by each other and exchanged meaningful glances.
It can be said that this look is very important and contains a lot of information. For example, the look in Andy's look at Emily means: When will I be able to occupy a high position like her and become the first female assistant? Emily's look is
, this new Cinderella is like a pearl wrapped in dirt. Although she looks earthy, she cannot hide her inner beauty...
After the two exchanged glances, Andy bumped into Emily, and the document in Emily's hand fell to the ground. Andy hurriedly apologized and squatted on the ground to pick it up, but Emily stood proudly, looking at
Looking at Andy who was bowing his head under him, the sharp and worried eyes before turned into contempt and self-deprecation. The meaning was that such a lamb-like girl could be his opponent. What he had just thought seemed a bit...
Much more.
Then, the plot is that Andy returns the papers he picked up to Emily and apologizes constantly, while Emily should ask her questions in a senior manner.
…
"CUT!" Yi Feiyang said with a frown, and then yelled: "The facial expression is wrong! It's too stiff! Forget it, take a rest first! Ivanka, come here."
Ivanka nodded frantically, ran to Yi Feiyang among the crowd leaving in a flurry, lowered her head and prepared to be scolded.
Yi Feiyang is no longer the amiable person with a smile on his face. As soon as he enters the role of director, he frowns as if he can never open his brows, supervising everyone like a tyrant.
Perfect, perfect!
This is what he kept saying all day long as soon as he entered the set.
"Ivanka! I want you to understand! You are now the most powerful female assistant in the entire company. You are no longer a lady! You are not a rich lady! And you are not facially paralyzed! You are acting with arrogance and disdain.
.I talk to newcomers with a high attitude like I am the queen of the next stop, so your expression and tone must express these characteristics just right, instead of just turning your head and calling it a day! No, you remember
"Remember, you are an actor, not a machine! What I want is your real performance, not a template. Do you understand?!" Yi Feiyang's words were a lesson, and he showed no mercy in his words.
Who is Ivanka? She has never been scolded or reprimanded so fiercely since she was a child.
My heart felt sour and I almost shed tears.
"Don't cry, that's the sign of a weak person! Don't let me look down on you, Ivanka! I said you would be a good actor. It's just that you haven't caught that little bit yet, yes, that little bit--
-The soul of the character! When you catch it, you succeed! Okay, go over there and think about it. Filming is not that simple. It is not a very fun game either. I think you should understand now.
Let's do it!" Yi Feiyang used both soft and hard tactics to train the wealthy daughter in front of him until he was about to cry.
"Okay director, let me think about it again!" Although Ivanka couldn't hold her head up after being scolded, she still seriously thought about her shortcomings. She filmed her first scene 10 times without success.
It made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Forget it. Take a good rest and go drink a cup of coffee!" Yi Feiyang's anger went away as quickly as it came.
Ivanka came to the dressing room and sat on the chair in despair, looking at herself in the mirror in annoyance, not knowing where to start.
"What's wrong? Still failed?" Meryl, an experienced actress, was putting on makeup on the side and turned her head to look at Ivanka.
"Yes, sister Meryl, why can't I feel anything? Damn it!" Ivanka held her head and lay on the dressing table, her mind in confusion.
"Hi, dear, I know that every actor has moments when he can't act. Yi said your expression is wrong, please try to relax a little." Meryl comforted Ivanka with kind words.
"Should I, what should I do?"
Ivanka asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't find the answer.
"My dear, how did you perform just now? Can you show it to me again?" Meryl and Ivanka have a good relationship, especially Meryl took the Ivanka family's plane to New York first, and the two of them
We also went shopping together and bought as many fashionable things as possible. Women are very emotional. After getting along with each other for a few days, it can be said that deep down in her heart, Meryl has regarded this girl as her little sister. Looking at her
I'm so troubled that I can't help but care.
"Okay!" Ivanka gathered her thoughts and repeated the performance just now.
"Wait, it seems, something is wrong!" Meryl bit her lip, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and thought hard.
"The director said I look like... I have facial paralysis!" Ivanka said helplessly.
"Facial paralysis?! Ha, this Chinese Yi has such a vicious mouth. How can he say that such a beautiful girl has facial paralysis?!" Meryl smiled, "Okay, dear Ivanka, forget about that hateful guy.
Words, come on, you try my method, what should I say, have you seen "Gone with the Wind" starring Vivien Leigh?"
"I've seen it, it's a great drama!"
"That's easy. You try to turn yourself into the heroine of this play, the tough-talking and very individual Hesgar, and then use her eyes and expressions to tell me the lines you just said.
What! Vivien Leigh, Hestgart in "Gone with the Wind"? Ivanka raised her head suddenly, carefully sketched Hestgart's expression and eyes, and then said the lines of the character in the script to Meryl.
"Look, honey, isn't it great what you did?!" Meryl laughed, "The characters are dead, but the people are alive. Many directors always ask actors to take on the roles, but they forget that many actors can't be found at all.
Templates that were substituted, and those characters have actually been interpreted in many movies, and now we just use them for our own use, or repackage them. This is an actor, an actor, it's that simple!"
Meryl's words made Ivanka stunned. For the first time in her life, she heard someone say that acting is done in this way, that acting is done in this way... It turns out that characters can also be "stolen"!
Turning her head, Ivanka looked at herself in the mirror. Yes, both her eyes and expressions were almost exactly the same as in the script. God, she had touched the door of acting. Yes! That's it!
As if a bolt of lightning flashed across Ivanka's mind, she quickly stood up, said thank you to Meryl, and quickly ran out of the dressing room.
Meryl just looked at Ivanka's hurried back and smiled, saying loudly: "Come on, honey, you can definitely do it!"
"Hey, director, dear Director Yi! I think I can do it, yes, I can do it!" Ivanka found Yi Feiyang who was drinking coffee, putting the tripod on the table, reading the script, and shouted in surprise
Little scream.
"Oh! Are you sure?" Yi Feiyang stood up.
"Yes, I think I can!" Ivanka said with a trace of determination on her face, leaving no room for doubt.
"OK!" Yi Feiyang picked up the loudspeaker and shouted at everyone: "Everyone is on your place! Let's do it again!"
Ben, the director's assistant, was explaining the play to the young actors. After hearing this, he quickly helped and shouted: "Hurry up, guys! It's about to start!"
The team was quickly prepared. Yi Feiyang frowned and sat behind the monitor. After everything was ready, he shouted: "Action!!!"
Ivanka calmed down and quickly found the feeling of "Hestgart" in "Gone with the Wind", playing a collision rivalry with Andy, played by Anne Hathaway, in the venue.
…
"Weird, so weird!" Looking at Ivanka who seemed to have changed into a different person in the camera, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but mutter.
Photographer Cindy couldn't help but said: "Yes, her current tone, expression, and eyes, God, how come it feels so familiar and yet so strange. The most important thing is that it matches your request just now!"
"
"It just feels weird because they match so well." Yi Feiyang said.
A set of shots was shot quickly.
Smooth, no jamming, almost done in one go!
Perfect!
Yi Feiyang's heart felt like he had been hit by a sledgehammer. Ivanka's performance was beyond his expectation. She had keenly discovered the characteristics of this character and finally broke through her previous restraints and improved her performance to another level!
"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!" Yi Feiyang stood up, shouted "Beautiful" three times in a row, and gave a thumbs up to Ivanka who was relieved of her burden.
